LACTASE ENZYMES

“For Help with the Digestion of Dairy Products”*

SUGGESTED USE: 1 capsule with dairy foods. Additional capsules may be taken if needed, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

• When directed by your healthcare professional, it may be beneficial to take this formulation with foods or drinks containing lactose to help relieve digestive stressors associated with the digestion of milk sugars, milk proteins (caseins) and milk fats in dairy products.*

Specific Functions:

• Support the digestion of dairy and dairy products*
• Support the digestion of milk sugars, milk proteins (caseins), milk fats and lactose*
• Manage Lactase insufficiency*
• Manage the digestion of lactose — the natural sugar found in milk and other dairy products*
• Ease dairy and lactose sensitivities to help make eating the foods you love possible*
• Helps breakdown lactose in foods.*
• Support the lack of Digesting Dairy Products which is sometimes associated with the ingestion of lactose containing foods by people who fail to produce adequate amounts of the enzyme lactase. As people age, their bodies produce fewer lactase enzymes, so some people don't have discomforts until they are adults.*
• Support the ingestion of lactose containing foods when the body is unable to digest lactose – the natural sugar found in milk and other dairy products. People who cannot digest lactose have a shortage, or deficiency, of the enzyme called lactase, which is produced in the small intestine.  Lactase breaks down milk sugars into two simpler forms of sugars, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream.*
• Support and assist in the digestion of lactose to help reduce un-comfortable digestive pressures and discomforts, which typically occur within 30 minutes to 2 hours after consuming foods containing lactose.*
• Support the breakdown of lactose, milk proteins and milk fats associated with the digestion of dairy products*
• Relieve Lactose occasional digestive discomforts i.e. digestive pressures, gas, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, bad breath, stomach upset, abdominal pain and cramping, constipation, increased mucus production.*
• Breakdown undigested lactose which can be fermented by gut flora producing occasional belching, cramping, diarrhea and flatulence*
• Support healthy metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates included in dairy products*
  
• Support digestion of dairy foods included in prepared food products or listed on labels of some canned, frozen, boxed and other prepared foods.
